Cowes Week

Since 1826 Cowes Week has played a key part in the British summer sporting calendar and is one of the UK’s longest running and most successful sporting events.

Cowes Week offers a great mix of competitive sailing and social activities. The competitors range from Olympic and world class professionals to weekend sailors.  Visitors come to watch the racing, enjoy the parties, and experience the unique atmosphere. It is genuinely a one-of-a-kind event.

Hundreds of yachts participate, from high-tech racing boats to classic day boats, and with thousands of people involved, it’s no wonder that Cowes Week is the longest running regular regatta in the world.

As well as sailing activities, Cowes Week offers a large number of onshore activities.  In addition to all the competitors, tens of thousands of visitors are attracted to Cowes Town each year by the festival atmosphere of the event.

Official Sponsor Cowes Yacht Haven

Cowes Yacht Haven (the spiritual home of Cowes Week) presented a boat-crew and family-friendly offering for Cowes Week 2024.

The main hospitality area, which was open to all, was in the south side of the site, and provided easy access to and from Cowes High Street.  Once inside guests found the MUSTO Sailors’ Bar and a stage that hosted the evening musical entertainment (scroll down to view, or click here to download the 2024 full schedule).  Food was available each day and visitors enjoyed a wide variety of offerings from Island traders.

The North-wall, that wraps around the marina, gave the perfect vantage point to watch the boats coming and going and preparing for their racing, with fabulous views of the Solent beyond.  The main hospitality area was open from 1000hrs to 2300hrs and entry remained free of charge every day for all. 

Cowes Yacht Haven remains proud to support the Cowes Week Regatta as an official sponsor.
